What the…hail?!

Sorry. I couldn't resist that ridiculous blog post title. You know the adage when it rains it pours? Well in our case it could be when it hails it hails some more- especially when you don't buy hail insurance. Thankfully it hasn't brought a total loss, or even a partial, but it definitely will affect our wheat yield. And the corn is small and resilient enough it shouldn't have too much impact on harvest in the Fall. The storm that rolled through a couple weekends ago brought the biggest hail that Tim or I had ever seen in person. Ouch.

And when the rain does decide to stop and things dry up, we'll be just about ready for wheat harvest. In the meantime, we're pretty happy about the *almost* nightly rainfall that has brought us up to .83" below the YTD average. #gaining=winning
